Canada’s response to Ukraine and Other Current Issues – Rachael Thomas (Guest)

These are unusual times we are living in … Covid-19 mandates are lifted in certain places but not in others.  It’s been two weeks since the police violence brought an end to the Ottawa freedom rally.  The Conservative party of Canada needs to elect a new leader. And Russia stays the course to keep Nato forces away from its border and so continues the conflict in Ukraine.  Joining BCN’s Jeannette Rocher to discuss this from Ottawa is Lethbridge MP Rachael Thomas.

After completing college and a paid internship with CBC Winnipeg, Jeannette embarked on her journalism career by moving overseas to take a job on the island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. While overseas she covered stories in Fiji, Guam and Japan including the 2011 tsunami that hit Japan and its surrounding islands. She covered a mass shooting, an Earth quake, murder cases and other substantial court cases.
